Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical technology, and in particular to an automatic tilting device for slag bags. Background Technology

[0002] In the metallurgical industry, especially in copper smelting, slag ladle dumping has always been a critical step in the production process. Traditional methods rely heavily on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also poses significant safety hazards. Early manual dumping methods required workers to manually move and turn slag ladles filled with high-temperature molten slag, a method that was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also highly prone to workplace injuries. With technological advancements, although semi-automated solutions such as overhead cranes and simple robotic arms have been introduced to assist dumping, these systems still require manual intervention, such as adjusting the position of the slag ladle or ensuring its correct placement, making the operation complex and time-consuming.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional dumping methods struggle to guarantee the stability and precision of slag bale tipping, especially when handling large or heavy slag bales. Slippage or tilting accidents pose a serious threat to personnel safety and property. Simultaneously, the lengthy time required for each operation to position, secure, and finally dump the slag bale limits overall production efficiency. Faced with these challenges, the market urgently needs a highly efficient, safe, and reliable fully automated slag bale tipping device to adapt to the modern metallurgical industry's trend towards intelligent and green development and to meet enterprises' needs for reduced operating costs.

The fork structure is disposed at the third end of the tilting body and is located above the tilting cylinder. A fork groove is formed on the side of the fork structure facing the slag bag.

[0010] Furthermore, the fork structure is provided with a first sensor to monitor the positioning status of the insertion post, and the hinge point between the flipping body and the base is provided with a second sensor to monitor the rotation angle of the flipping body.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a fixing member disposed at the end of the flipping body, the end of the fixing member forming a receiving groove for accommodating the fork structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the flipping body is provided with a locking structure on the side facing the reciprocating support assembly, and the slag bag side is provided with a slot corresponding to the locking structure. The locking structure is driven to be inserted into the slot to abut against the slag bag.

The push cylinder is hinged to the power output end of the transverse trolley.

[0015] Furthermore, the transverse trolley has a support platform for supporting the slag bag, and a guide seat for guiding the slag bag to fall into position is provided around the support platform.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with a limiting seat at the end of the slide rail for limiting the movement of the transverse trolley.

[0017] Furthermore, a third sensor is installed on the guide seat to monitor the positioning status of the slag bag.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the automatic tilting device for slag bags provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic slag bag tilting device that integrates a reciprocating support assembly, a symmetrical tilting arm, and a tilting cylinder. This achieves fully automated operation of slag bag pushing, locking, and tilting, simplifying the process and improving safety. The tilting arm adopts a triangular design, enhancing structural stability and saving space through a compact layout.

[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this embodiment clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this embodiment and are not intended to limit this embodiment.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The automatic tilting device for slag bag 6 provided in this embodiment will now be described. The automatic tilting device for slag bag 6 in this embodiment includes a base 1, a reciprocating support assembly 5 slidably disposed on the base 1, a set of tilting arms 2 symmetrically disposed on the base 1, and a tilting cylinder 4 for driving the tilting arms 2 to tilt relative to the base 1.

[0029] The reciprocating support assembly 5 is used to push the slag bag 6 to be overturned, and a set of overturning arms 2 are located on two opposite sides of the reciprocating support assembly 5. One side of the base 1 is recessed, and one end of the overturning arm 2 is hinged to the recessed side of the base 1. The other end of the overturning arm 2 is connected to the power output end of the overturning cylinder 4, and the overturning cylinder 4 is located on the side of the base 1 away from the overturning arm 2.

[0030] The tilting arm 2 is provided with a fork groove 221 for holding the slag bag 6, and the tilting arm 2 is provided with a locking structure for locking the fork groove 221. The reciprocating support assembly 5 pushes the insert 61 of the slag bag 6 into the fork groove 221 for locking, and the tilting arm 2 and the slag bag 6 are tilted and returned to their original position by the action of the tilting cylinder 4.

[0031] Based on the overall description of the above structure, an exemplary structure of the automatic tilting device for slag bag 6 in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base 1 is a rectangular structure with an opening on the right side, and a receiving space 11 for accommodating the slag bag 6 is formed in the middle of the base 1. The two ends on the right side of the base 1 are recessed relative to the other parts, which allows the tilting arm 2 to work closer to the ground. This not only saves space but also optimizes the placement angle of the slag bag 6, which helps to reduce the height difference required for tilting and thus saves energy consumption.

[0032] Two tilting arms 2 are symmetrically arranged at the right end of the base 1, and the two tilting arms 2 are connected by a connecting shaft 15. This design can evenly distribute the torque and ensure that the slag bag 6 remains stable throughout the tilting process.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the tilting arm 2 includes a tilting body 21 and a fork structure 22 disposed on the tilting body 21. The tilting body 21 is arranged in an approximately triangular shape. One end of the tilting body 21 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end of the tilting body 21 is hinged to the tilting cylinder 4. The fork structure 22 is disposed at the third end of the tilting body 21 and is located above the tilting cylinder 4. A fork groove 221 is formed on the side of the fork structure 22 facing the slag bag 6.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tilting body 21 is arranged in a triangular shape. The right end of the tilting body 21 is hinged to the right end of the base 1, and the lower left end of the tilting body 21 is hinged to the tilting cylinder 4. A fork structure 22 is provided at the upper left end of the tilting body 21. This design not only enhances the stability of the tilting body 21 itself, but also effectively disperses the torque generated during the tilting process, ensuring the balance and safety of the slag bag 6 during tilting. At the same time, the compact spatial layout makes the entire device more streamlined, saves installation space, and improves operating efficiency. The triangular design also provides a stable foundation for the tilting arm 2, which helps to improve the durability and reliability of the equipment.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a blind groove 211 is formed at the upper end of the flipping body 21. The fork structure 22 is located in the blind groove 211 and is hinged to the flipping body 21. The fork structure 22 can be flipped relative to the blind groove 211. The free end of the fork structure 22 has an approximately U-shaped fork groove 221. When the reciprocating support assembly 5 pushes the insert 61 of the slag bag 6 into the fork groove 221, the fork structure 22 rotates counterclockwise relative to the flipping body 21, thereby locking the insert 61 in the fork groove 221.

[0036] Meanwhile, to facilitate monitoring whether the insert 61 has entered the fork slot 221, preferably, in this embodiment, a first sensor 24 is provided at the bottom end of the fork slot 221 of the fork structure 22. When the first sensor 24 detects that the insert 61 has entered the fork slot 221, the first sensor 24 transmits the information to the control center, which then transmits the information to the power structure of the fork structure 22 to drive the fork structure 22 to flip. Preferably, the first sensor 24 is a photoelectric sensor as used in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, the locking structure described above includes a fixing member 23 disposed at the end of the flipping body 21. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the fastener 23 forms a receiving groove 231 for accommodating the fork structure 22. The receiving groove 231 better encloses the fork structure 22, thereby enhancing the fixation effect of the slag bag during overturning. This simple mechanical locking method not only reduces system complexity but also further enhances safety during slag bag overturning, preventing accidental slippage or detachment.

[0038] Meanwhile, to further enhance the connection strength between the tilting arm 2 and the slag bag 6, preferably, the tilting body 21 is provided with a locking structure 3 on the side facing the reciprocating support assembly 5, and the slag bag 6 has a slot 62 on its side corresponding to the locking structure 3. The locking structure 3 is driven to insert into the slot 62 to secure the slag bag 6. When the slag bag is pushed into position, the locking structure 3 can insert into the slot 62 on the side of the slag bag, securing the slag bag 6 and preventing it from moving during the tilting process. This design not only increases operational safety but also improves the equipment's adaptability to slag bags 6 of different specifications, making the device more versatile and flexible.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a second sensor 25 for monitoring the rotation angle of the flipping body 21 is provided at the hinge point between the flipping body 21 and the base 1. During the flipping process of the flipping arm 2 driving the slag bag 6 to flip, the second sensor 25 feeds data back to the control center in real time. When the predetermined angle is reached, the flipping arm 2 returns to its original position, confirming that the copper slag has been poured out of the slag bag 6, and then places the slag bag 6 back onto the transverse trolley 51. Preferably, the second sensor 25 is an angle sensor as used in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a buffer structure for flipping and resetting the slag bag 6 is provided on the base 1, specifically as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the buffer structure is a buffer seat 12. One buffer seat 12 is provided for each of the two flipping states of the flipping arm 2. When the flipping arm 2 flips and resets, the buffer seat 12 can reduce the impact force of the movement to avoid damage to the base 1. In addition, the presence of the buffer structure also ensures the smooth operation of the flipping and resetting process, reduces vibration, and improves the safety and reliability of operation.

[0041] As a further preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the reciprocating support assembly 5 includes a transverse trolley 51 slidably disposed on the base 1 and a push cylinder 52 for driving the transverse trolley 51 to move. The base 1 is provided with a slide rail 13 corresponding to the transverse trolley 51. The push cylinder 52 is disposed inside the base 1 and located below the tilting cylinder 4. The push cylinder 52 is hinged to the power output end of the transverse trolley 51.

[0042] Specific reference Figure 4 As shown, the left side of the base 1 has a certain space, which houses the push cylinder 52. The power output end of the push cylinder 52 extends towards the right side of the base 1 and is hinged to the transverse trolley 51. The transverse trolley 51 is located in the central receiving space 11 of the base 1, and two parallel slide rails 13 are formed from left to right within the receiving space 11 to facilitate the movement of the transverse trolley 51 within the receiving space 11. This also enables the rapid and accurate pushing of the slag bag 6, ensures the linear movement of the transverse trolley 51, and improves the stability and working efficiency of the system.

[0043] In addition, a limit seat 14 is provided at the end of the slide rail 13 on the base 1 to limit the movement of the traverse trolley 51. This design prevents the traverse trolley 51 from exceeding its maximum stroke, avoids equipment damage due to overload or misoperation, provides additional safety for the entire operation process, and reduces the risk of accidents.

[0044] To help guide the slag bag to its accurate placement, the transverse trolley 51 has a support platform 511 for supporting the slag bag 6, and guide seats 512 for guiding the slag bag 6 to its placement are provided around the support platform 511. Preferably, in this embodiment, four guide seats 512 are provided along the periphery of the support platform 511, and the guide seats 512 have a certain inclination towards the center to facilitate guiding the slag bag 6 to its placement.

[0045] Meanwhile, a third sensor 53 is installed on each guide seat 512 to monitor the positioning status of the slag bag 6. The real-time information provided by the third sensor 53 can help the control system make timely adjustments to ensure that each operation is carried out under optimal conditions. This not only improves the level of automation but also enhances the intelligent feedback capability of the control system, further improving the safety and efficiency of the operation. Preferably, the third sensor 53 is a photoelectric sensor that is the same as or similar to the aforementioned first sensor 24, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Working principle: First, the reciprocating support assembly 5 on the base 1 enters the working state. The transverse trolley 51, which is slidably set on the base 1, moves smoothly along the slide rail 13 under the drive of the top push cylinder 52, pushing the slag bag 6 placed on its support platform 511 to the predetermined position. The guide seat 512 ensures that the slag bag 6 is accurately positioned, and the positioning status is monitored by the third sensor 53 installed on the guide seat 512, ensuring that each operation is carried out under optimal conditions.

[0047] Next, a symmetrically arranged set of tilting arms 2 prepares to receive the slag bag 6. One end of the tilting arm 2 is hinged to the sunken side of the base 1, and the other end is connected to the power output end of the tilting cylinder 4. The tilting arm 2 is provided with a fork groove 221 for holding the insert 61 of the slag bag 6. When the slag bag 6 is pushed into place, its insert 61 will accurately fall into the fork groove 221. At this time, the first sensor 24 located on the fork structure 22 will monitor the positioning status of the insert 61 to ensure that the slag bag 6 is correctly locked.

[0048] Subsequently, the locking structure comes into play. The fixing member 23 at the end of the flipping body 21 forms a receiving groove 231 for accommodating the fork structure 22, further reinforcing the fixing effect of the slag bag 6. At the same time, a slag bag locking structure 3 is provided on the side of the flipping body 21 facing the reciprocating support assembly 5. This structure can be inserted into the slot 62 on the side of the slag bag 6, pressing against the slag bag 6 and preventing it from moving accidentally during the flipping process. At the same time, the control center also determines whether the slag bag has been locked through the cylinder stroke sensor. This double locking mechanism greatly enhances the safety of operation.

[0049] Next, the tilting cylinder 4 is activated. It drives the tilting arm 2 to tilt relative to the base 1, causing the locked slag bag 6 to tilt as well. The second sensor 25 at the hinge point between the tilting body 21 and the base 1 monitors the tilting angle in real time, ensuring that the tilting process is executed precisely according to the preset angle. Throughout the tilting process, the triangular design of the tilting body 21 provides stable mechanical support, making the tilting action smoother and more reliable.

[0050] After the tilting is complete, the tilting cylinder 4 retracts, causing the tilting arm 2 and the empty slag bag 6 to return to their initial positions. At this time, the buffer structure on the base 1 absorbs the impact force generated during the reset, protecting the equipment from damage and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the presence of the buffer structure ensures a smooth tilting and reset process, reducing vibration and improving operational safety and reliability.

[0051] Finally, the photoelectric sensor on the transverse trolley 51 confirms that the slag bag has been positioned, the locking structure 3 releases, and the slag bag 6 is released from the tilting arm 2. The transverse trolley 51 restarts, transporting the empty slag bag 6 away from the tilting device, preparing for the next operation. The entire process requires no manual intervention and is fully automated, which not only improves work efficiency but also significantly reduces labor intensity and safety hazards.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this embodiment and is not intended to limit this embodiment. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this embodiment should be included within the protection scope of this embodiment.
